Susquehanna Twp.'s Nehemiah Mack lands on MaxPreps' Sophomore All-American hoops team

Tack on another basketball-centric honor for sparkling Susquehanna Twp. backcourt standout Nehemiah "Bud" Mack.

And this one carries plenty of national flavor.

The 6-0 Mack, who averaged nearly 18 points per game for a Susquehanna Twp. ballclub (23-8) that reached the PIAA Class AAA championship game and captured a District 3-AAA title, recently was named to the Sophomore All-American team spliced together by the folks at MaxPreps.com.

Mack was one of 26 players to receive honorable mention.

Mack's consistent string of terrific efforts — Mack knocked down 59 treys while shooting better than 50 percent from the arc, shot 80 percent from the free-throw line, dropped five dimes per contest and frequently locked up on the opposition's top backcourt player — landed him a first-team nod on the Class AAA all-state team selected by a panel of Pennsylvania sports writers.

Tagged most valuable player of the District 3-AAA tournament, Mack also earned a first-team spot on PennLive.com's Big 15 team.

Lincoln Park Charter's Maverick Rowan, the Class A player of the year, was the only other Pennsylvania player recognized by MaxPreps. Rowan, who netted 37 points in the PIAA Class A title game, was a second-team selection.

In other Susquehanna Twp. hoops news, 5-10 senior lead guard Gabe Mack recently picked up a scholarship offer from NCAA Division II Georgian Court (N.J.). A third-team Class AAA all-state pick and a PennLive.com Big 15 selection, Gabe Mack averaged nearly 11 ppg this past season.
